Happiest colleges in the United States?

Hey guys, I'm making a list of colleges to apply to and I want to prioritize schools where students are generally happy with their experience. Can anyone help me out with a list of the top 25 happiest colleges in the US?

Sure! While I can't provide an ultimate ranking of the happiest colleges, because happiness can be subjective and vary considerably depending on individual experience, preferences, and goals, here’s a list of 25 colleges that are often noted for having a strong sense of community, positive campus culture, and overall student satisfaction. Keep in mind that the order does not indicate any specific ranking:

1. Rice University

2. Vanderbilt University

3. Claremont McKenna College (part of the Claremont Colleges Consortium)

4. Bowdoin College

5. Brown University

6. University of Notre Dame

7. Swarthmore College

8. University of Dayton

9. Stanford University

10. Yale University

11. Colgate University

12. University of Southern California

13. University of Richmond

14. Pomona College (part of the Claremont Colleges Consortium)

15. Williams College

16. College of Charleston

17. University of Colorado Boulder

18. University of Chicago

19. Ohio State University

20. University of Minnesota Twin Cities

21. Elon University

22. University of Florida

23. University of Georgia

To gauge student happiness at a specific school, consider looking up student reviews and visiting the schools you're interested in (if possible) to talk with current students and participate in campus tours. Remember, what makes one person happy may not be the same for you, so make sure to evaluate each institution based on your own needs, interests, and preferences. Good luck with your college search!
